Actually, I do, because of popup windows. Right now I'm running Netscape
without a window manager, and I'm running a filter to change the
window.open toolbar=no javascript argument to toolbar=yes, and I've created
a custom button in the toolbar that will close the 2nd window. But, I've
discovered that the default in Netscape for the window.open function is
toolbar=no, so if it's not specified, that's what the popup does, and if
there's nothing there to specify it I can't filter it out. I haven't been
able to find anything in netscape that will let me change it's default,
either, and I've found a way to supposedly convert all window.open
arguments to regular links with my filter, but it really slows things down.
*grrh* That, and I think my filter is causing some other problems, such
as the keyboard freezing, but that's another tale.
However, at Justin's suggestion, I've been taking another look at icewm,
and I can get rid of most of the features I want to eliminate through the
preferences file.
Thanks, guys! It's nice to know I have moral support out there! These
problems have been plaguing me for weeks.
